GENERAL INFORMATION
Collision fault finding
40Collision fault finding
Before carrying out repairs to the bodywork of a car, even if the damage seems slight, it is
necessary to carry out a series of tests:

VISUAL INSPECTION
This inspection involves the examination of the sub-frame of the vehicle where mechanical
components are mounted and in the crumple zones or vulnerable areas in order to detect folds
where materials have been deformed.

TRAMMEL GAUGE CHECK
The visual inspection may be completed using a trammel gauge which will allow measurement
of certain deformations by symmetrical comparisons (for more detail on each point to check, see
the repair bench paragraph below).
NOTE: to make the marking easier, the reference points located on the left of the vehicle are
marked by a capital letter (e.g.: A) and the reference points opposite these with the same
function are shown by the same letter with an additional index (e.g.: A')

AXLE GEOMETRY CHECK
It is the only check which determines whether the impact suffered by the vehicle has or has not
affected its road holding.
Important: in borderline cases, it is essential not to neglect checking the axle assembly
components which may also have been damaged.
On principle, no welded component in the body shell may be replaced without ensuring that the
subframe was not affected by the impact.

I - PRINCIPLE REFERENCE POINTS FOR SETTING VEHICLE TRIM LEVEL
A - FRONT SUB-FRAME REAR MOUNTING
It is the main front reference point.
1 - Front mechanical units removed
NOTE:
on the left hand side the hole is round,
on the right hand side it is a slot.
When replacing the rear section of the side member,
this reference point is replaced provisionally by
point (M), located on the seat cross member, point (A)
being used to position the replaced component.2 - Front mechanical units in place
The bracket covers the sub-frame mounting bolt.
NOTE: the two sides are not symmetrical, on the right
hand side the mounting is set on the rubber mounting.
If the rear of the vehicle is being rebuilt, these two
points alone may be used to align and support the
front of the vehicle.
It may be used for a light rear impact without removing
the rear axle.

III - REFERENCE POINTS FOR POSITIONING REPLACED PARTS
C - FRONT SUB-FRAME FRONT MOUNTING
1 - Front mechanical units removed
The bracket rests under the front cross member and is
centred in the sub-frame mounting hole.
It is used when replacing:
– the lower front cross member,
– the assembled front,
– a side member, part section,
– a half unit.2 - Front mechanical units in place
The bracket covers the sub-frame mounting bolt.
It is used:
– following a frontal collision for a slight impact,
– for fault finding for the jig inspection of the front
section.
It is necessary to remove the bumper to access the
reference point.

INTRODUCTION
This part is replaced in addition to replacing:
– case n˚ 1: the rear end panel and the rear end pillar
for a rear impact,
– case n˚ 2: the rear wing panel and the rear end pillar
for a rear side impact.
This operation can only be carried out by partial
cutting.
The rear face jig Car. 1563 (part no. 00 00 156 300)
must be used.
The Parts Department supplies the light support (1)
without the rear end pillar (2).
In both cases, it will be necessary to order the rear end
pillar to carry out the operation.
In the operation described below, only descriptions of
the connections specific to the rear end pillar and the
part concerned according to cases 1 and 2 are given.
The information on the additional parts will be dealt
with in their appropriate chapters (see contents).
